    I'd avoid Multimedia 1.0 or whatever it's called, unless you want to laugh at their insane prices.

    Example:

    Loose ROB robot with Gyromite parts: $150
    RIP bargora, you will be greatly missed.That is how we do things on Giedion Prime.

    Didn't they sell the store about a year ago?

    Yeah, but the store is still up and running (just new owners). Haven't been there since the sale, but I heard its still pretty bad as far as prices go. The only good thing is that supposively the new owners don't know too much about games, so you may find a steal or two hidden around the store.

    Don't forget to stop by the Nintendo World store. They don't sell anything classic, but they have a neat little museum-style display of Nintendo history on the 2nd floor.
